ABSTRACT

Traditional metaphysical theories have led to apparently insoluble problems concerning the nature of mind, of matter and the relation between the two. This chapter presents metaphysical and meaningless the notion of a mind-itself acting as a kind of 'container' for the ideas, thoughts, feelings, or cognitum groups generally, which would colloquially be said to be 'in' it. The essence of the matter is that cognitum groups, notably known as psychons, once people have been 'in consciousness', in conjunction do tend to hang together, so the recurrence of one cognitum, or group. The chapter focuses on to the question of the actual relation and possibilities of interaction of Matter and Mind. In the case of the mind follow the same type of procedure; that is to say, must observe the types of regularity which do in fact characterize the flux and succession of cognitum groups, and then devise some sort of a 'law of force' to cater for them.
